20/08/25, My Creator Pro is pathetically slow to respond to clicks and even slower doing anything else. This has happened over the past 2 or 3 days which is why I’ve added the present date to this post. Everything else on my PC is working as it should, so I think it must be Facer at fault.

There’s a whole thread on this already.

I just had a little Play on Creator . All feels about normal considering every keystroke and running instruction has to be processed by Marvin over there in L.A. WFS has Bugs . It often crashes after saving a file and we have to go to Task Manager and End the Task .
Which reminds me I was going to Reinstall to see if that fixed it . Catch you Later.
The issue with WFS are that when saving a file, for some reason it wants to take a 20 meg file, and make it 300 megs. This seems to make WFS lock up. It’s probably a memory leak in the code. I have 5 computers with WFS installed, and they all do it…once you close (usually via task manager), and relaunch and reload the face, it’ll save back to its normal size.
Another reason I’m baffled that there hasn’t been a new release of WFS.

You can reduce the memory load on a WFS file by resaving it . I have never had the issue you are talking about . I tend to make my resources 720x720 . Plenty good enough for a small display . Biggest file I have is 20MB . I try to keep them to 3MB but not always possible .
I understand how it works. Like I said, once I crush WFS in Task Man, and relaunch it, and then reload the 300 mb watch face file, then re save it, it saves as a 20 mb or less file again. It had ZERO to do with the source files. None of my graphics files are larger than 450x450. The size of the watch face itself. No reason to have anything bigger.
I can tell when it’s getting wonky, because it takes almost 7 minutes to dump a face onto my watch when the files starts growing from no reason.

Weird . Something is Filling up somewhere and Ending the Task obviously clears it .
